It’s fade to black in Park City and time to roll the credits. Sundance 30 concluded with an awards ceremony that doled out prizes to dozens of films in the competition categories. Masters of ceremony Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally were helped by the husband and wife tag team of Felicity Huffman and Willian H Macy (his directorial debut, starring Huffman, Anton Yelchin and Billy Crudup had closed the festival earlier). It was a customarily informal affair with several award-recipients that had already left the festival accepting via recorded skype messages, at least three of them in the company of their infant children (prompting one presenter to quip: “there might be a relation between making movies and fertility”). Earning the most prestigious honors at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival, Damien Chazelle’s “Whiplash” brought home the Grand Jury and Audience Prizes after kicking off the cinema extravaganza ten days prior on its January 16th opening night. After accepting the Grand Jury prize, Chazelle joked, “It was impossible to finance because no one wants to make a movie about a jazz drummer, which is a total shock to me.” The 29-year-old director added, “Without people seeing (the short) here at Sundance, we wouldn’t be here today.” With plenty of other accolades handed out to the deserving field of entrants, the complete list of 2014 Sundance Film Festival winners is as follows: U.
